Some people value these rather highly. A beautiful sword. I think there is no reason to believe the scabbard is not original, I feel sure the bands on the scabbard are silver also. It looks to me like it just needs cleaning with a rag and some 3 in 1 machine oil. Any stubborn gunge should move with the use of the finest polishing steel wool with the oil. It is wise to be most gentle to the silver on the blade.
